The Urban Rat and the Suburban Rat, The Persevering Tortoise and the Pretentious Hare, The Ambitious Fox and the Unapproachable Grapes....

If some of these titles seem vaguely familiar to you, you wouldn't be mistaken! Fables for the Frivolous by Guy Wetmore Carryl contains some well-known fables in a modern packaging, with a delightful new twist!

The complete title of the original published in 1898 was Fables for the Frivolous (With apologies to La Fontaine) and it was the first published work of this gifted American journalist, humorist and poet. The tales, presented in verse form, give a whole new interpretation to some of the best known fables that we enjoyed as children. For instance, in the story of the Impecunious Cricket and the Frugal Ant, the cricket is portrayed as a ne'er do well musician while the ant is a persnickety old  spinster who hates getting her home and garden dirtied by the cricket's muddy shoes!

Embellished with witty similes, entertaining puns and hilarious turns of speech, the verses are indeed a fun read for the whole family and give these old favorites a new lease of life. The original edition had some very charming illustrations by Peter Newell, the famous artist, poet and illustrator.

Carryl also wrote several other books in a similar vein, with zany titles like Far From the Maddening Girls. He was an accomplished pianist and enjoyed the good life. His tragic death at the young age of 31 was indeed a loss to the genre. His humorous takes on Mother Goose rhymes and parodies of Grimm's Fairy Tales have kept readers amused for generations.

The verse form makes it ideal for read-aloud sessions with friends or your kids and everyone will certainly enjoy the mischievous pun on the conventional moral at the end of each tale!

World War G

Hosted by Casey Lyons, Greg LeGros and Dan Gorman from See You Next Wednesday, Time Bandits was a podcast where every other week they traveled back in time with a special guest to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of beloved – or not so beloved – pop culture relics.

From failed comedies to botched blockbusters or overstuffed pop albums, we watched or listened to just about anything.

“Time Bandits hinges on our contemporary desire for nostalgia, but the show attempts to tackle the stuff overlooked by anniversary think-pieces. […] The guys successfully contextualize the state of film in 1989 and a have bunch of laughs…” – The A.V. Club

“I think they stand up with the great movie review podcasts like We Hate Movies and How Did This Get Made […] Check them out for obscure strangeness and camp, as well as genuine love for great movies we all grew up with.” – Croisquessein via iTunes Review

Elke keer onthullen we meer over onze persoonlijkheid door een online quiz in te vullen en de resultaten met jullie te delen.
Daarna volgen er verhalen rond een bepaald thema die elke aflevering anders zijn.
Er wordt soms geroepen, alvast onze excuses.
